This is an old revision of the document!
This was too much information to put on the main page, so here is my caluclations on cost of driving the leaf to work daily:
Nissan Leaf Energy Use
My commute is essentially
1 Home to Highway: 0.87 miles 2 Highway: 24.2 miles 3 Highway to Office: 1.3 miles
26.37 miles each way to work 53 miles / day commute
Stefan drop of is 1.82 miles (so an extra mile to drop him off essentially)
92 MPGe for highway
So 53 miles / 92 MPGe = 0.576 gallon equivalent
33.7 kwhr = 1 gallon
Commute would require 19.414 kwhr at 0.11 / kwr = $2.14 daily
Assume 50 weeks:
Real gas = 1.514 gallons @ $4 = $6.06
Civic or 6.06*5= $30.285 / week = $1514.25 / year
Leaf $2.14 * 5 = $10.70 / week = $535 / year
80% of 24kwhr is your commute. So you would need to charge any
